Rasa – Shaykh al-Mulla argued that by following the wise leadership of Iran will prevent any harm to the IRGC by the United States and said, “The United States is trying to divide the Iranian people." RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Shaykh Khalid al-Mulla, the chairman of the Scholars Council of Iraq, referred to the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization by the Trump administration and said, “It’s not strange for the United States to put the IRGC on its list of terrorist groups because it has acted against Iranian institutions since the Islamic Revolution until today and is taking steps which are in the interests of the Zionists.”
The Iraqi Sunni cleric added, “The United States wants to put pressure on the Iranian people by placing the IRGC on its list of terrorist groups but by adopting positions in line with Iran, the Islamic resistance movements in the region have isolated the American authorities. This is considered as part of Tehran’s support for the Islamic resistance.”
In regard to a meeting in Saudi Arabia aimed at announcing an ‘Arab NATO,’ Shaykh al-Mulla said, “The project in the region aims to prevent the international activities of Islamic organizations and movements. As a result, the West is trying to form a coalition for this purpose but as the name of the Arab NATO implies, this coalition will be formed based upon complete Western criteria aimed at confronting the people of the region.”
He said, “Through its actions against the IRGC, the United States is trying to divide the Iranian people but by following the wise leadership of Iran, the people will prevent the United States from reaching its goals and they will not be able to destroy their unity.”
Shaykh al-Mulla added, “Although it took about two years to put the IRGC on the list of terrorist groups until its implementation, but with this generosity, the United States suffered serious miscalculations because they were unaware of the support for the IRGC by Islamic groups in the region and the Iranian people and this support will prevent the IRGC from being harmed.”
